The old elder did not directly answer Caspian’s question but replied, “About twenty years ago, an apprentice was promoted to an outer disciple.
When I gave him a routine check, he scolded me.
When it was time to choose his residence, he even said, ‘Old man, if you dare to pick me a place that’s not full of spiritual Qi, I’ll break your leg!’.”
“This disciple’s too rude!” Caspian frowned, then he looked at the old elder, “What happened next?”
“What happened next?” the old elder grinned, “Not only did I choose an area for him that was devoid of spiritual Qi, but there were also monsters living there.
Let alone cultivating with peace of mind, it would be difficult for him to rest peacefully.”
“Did he come to see you?” Seeing the old elder smiling happily, Caspian could not help but burst into laughter.
The old man was simply too fascinating.
“Him? Does he dare? He’s just an empty can!” the old elder smiled, but a serious look flashed in his eyes, “The Heavenly Stars Sect selects disciples not only based on talent but also their nature.
If such a disciple was not tempered, wouldn’t he be a shame for my Heavenly Stars Sect in the future?”
“I’m afraid that not only will he not be able to understand your good intentions, but he’ll hold grudges in his heart,” Caspian said.
“It’s pointless to nurture the fools.
If he thinks so, I can’t save him.” The old elder shook his head.
Then, he pointed to the foot of the mountain he just chose for Caspian, “Do you see the rock?”
“Yes.” Caspian nodded.
The rock was tall and sharp, like a thorn stabbing on the ground and pointing to the sky.
The old deacon explained, “There used to be a spiritual spring, which dried up completely about five years ago.
The spring water gushed from the bottom of the rock to form a spiritual spring with a radius of about two acres.
Among all the places the outer disciples once lived, the area had the strongest spiritual Qi.
Even though the spiritual spring is now dry, the earth and surrounding vegetation that have been nourished by the spiritual spring can still emit a spiritual Qi that far exceeds that of other areas.
Compared to the other places where the outer disciples lived, it’s not an exaggeration to say the rock is a small paradise.
Moreover, Leonard once used the spring water in the spiritual spring to train his swordsmanship, so that spiritual Spring’s also named the Spring of the Sword Spirit!”
Swoosh!
Caspian’s pupils shrunk suddenly.
Leonard was second only to the elder in charge of the Heavenly Stars Sect, Hadley.
Moreover, the sword he trained with was naturally the treasure of the Heavenly Stars Sect, the Sound of Heavenly Stars Sword!
Whether Leonard or the Sound of Heavenly Stars Sword, these two names were well-known in Earlington of Efrax.
Since the spiritual spring was related to those two names, Caspian instantly understood the old elder did not fool him.
The area around the rock was a paradise! Nonetheless, Caspian quickly recovered from his excitement.
He wondered why the other party introduced that place to him when they did not seem to know each other? Furthermore, when the other party heard Caspian’s name before, his reaction seemed unusual.
The old elder did not appear to notice Caspian’s reaction, and he flicked his finger on the light curtain a few times.
“I’ll make the decision and choose this place for you, and it won’t be long before you feel the benefits this area will provide you.”
“Alright.
Thank you for the help, Elder,” Caspian nodded, “But I…”
Before Caspian even finished his words, the old elder suddenly extended his hand and interrupted him.
Then, the old elder looked deeply at Caspian.
After a while, he uttered softly, “Wesley Young was my only son.”
Boom!
Blood rushed into his brain, and Caspian understood in an instant.
The old elder in front of him was Wesley’s father!
When the old elder saw Caspian’s surprise appearance, he chuckled and said, “Thank you.”
Naturally, he thanked Caspian for not only bringing Wesley’s jade identification badge back to the Heavenly Stars Sect and hanging it on the Tree of the Sea of Stars but also for inheriting Wesley’s legacy.
